Vacuum polarization and renormalized stress-energy tensor of spherical thin shells
Julio Arrechea, Cormac Breen, Adrian Ottewill +2
We provide a thorough study of the properties of the Boulware vacuum in the spacetime of a spherical, static thin shell with a Minkowski interior. To this end, we calculate the ren…

The renormalized stress-energy tensor for scalar fields in the Boulware state with applications to extremal black holes
Julio Arrechea, Cormac Breen, Adrian Ottewill +2
We provide a mode-sum prescription to directly compute the renormalized stress-energy tensor (RSET) for scalar fields in the Boulware vacuum. The method generalizes the recently de…
